Abstract

PURPOSE: To shorten the fermentation time and economically produce the subject beverage having a taste of a beer by combining a specific wort with a thick yeast slurry, removing the yeast, then aging the resultant fermentation liquor and finishing the beverage.
CONSTITUTION: (A) A wort, containing a fermentable sugar and having at least 14 20 wt.% extract content and (B) a thick yeast slurry, obtained from a prior beer fermentation and including at least 10 wt.% yeast solid and balance beer are produced and the component A is combined with at least 10-20% vol./vol. component B to provide a number of at least 100,000,000 yeast cells/mL of the combined component A. The fermentation is then carried out at about 3-7.5°C temperature for 0.5-10 hr to remove the yeast. The fermentation liquor is then aged and diluted when the target alcohol content is high and further carbonated to thereby provide the subject beverage having <0.5% vol./vol. alcohol content.

Thus, the first step in the new process is to provide a wort having an extractive content of at least about 14-20% by weight and containing M. and the proportions of auxiliaries, if used, are selected to produce a wort of this composition. This method uses higher extractive Zhao wort than the method described in the patent document, and the wort is not diluted before the fermentation process. This has been found to be advantageous as it allows the high proportion of aldehydes to be reduced during the fermentation without adding unduly excess e3 mother. The wort can be cooled in a standard wort cooler to the temperature selected for the fermentation stage before being combined with the yeast slurry for fermentation.

Contains 20% by weight of vinegar motherboard and balance gold. Yeast slurry can be obtained from bottom-fermenting beer,
It typically contains 6.5% v/v alcohol. The present invention thus differs from prior art cold contact methods based on the use of alcohol-free yeast. It has been found that contacting the yeast slurry containing the wort and beer allows the beverage to incorporate beer volatiles and flavors that add to the flavor of the final beverage and compensate for its deficiencies in customary non-alcoholic malt beverages. It was. Approximately 30-80% of the alcohol in the final non-alcoholic beverage of the invention comes from the beer contained in the yeast slurry.

Fermentation takes place in a closed fermentation vessel. The wort and yeast slurry are combined in a fermentation vessel after cooling to the temperature selected for fermentation. Fermentation is carried out according to the invention at degrees S in the range from 3 to 7.5°C, preferably from 3.3 to 7.2°C. This aspect of the invention differs from the low temperature contacting methods of the patent literature in which the wort and yeast are contacted at a temperature of about 0°C. An advantage of this method is that it eliminates the requirement for additional cooling equipment and processing to reach temperatures as low as 0 DEG C., providing a practical method for typical shipyards. Another advantage is that with this method there is no risk of ice formation in the fermentation vessels or cooling surfaces. Additionally, while the present method involves fermentation of sugar in malt, at least some of the cold contact methods of the above-mentioned patent documents do not include the step

The fermentation is carried out with little or no oxygen present in the fermentation vessel to provide a reducing environment in which the IkLB mother reduces aldehydes in the fermentation liquor. Therefore, barley H and yeast should be aerated once they are placed in the fermentation vessel. It is useful to purge the fermentation vessel with CO2 before filling, and it is also useful to purge the wort in the fermentation vessel with CO2.

It has been found to be advantageous to further reduce the aldehydes present in the beverage, which in turn enhances the flavor of the final beverage and reduces the wort taste of the beverage.

Another novel feature of the present invention is that the fermentation is carried out for a short time of only Q, 5 to 10 hours. This is in marked contrast to the extended exposure times taught in the patent literature, which range from 24 to 72 hours. The short vI contact of the present invention has obvious advantages, such as reducing the manufacturing costs of non-alcoholic malt beverages and freely increasing fermentation vessel capacity.

The fermentation step of the method may be carried out to a higher target alcohol content than that selected for the final beverage, and the fermentation liquid may be diluted with water, for example, to reach the Artur content selected for the final non-alcoholic beverage. I found it useful. Thus, in the present method, the fermentation step is approximately 1-2% V/v.

(5) Finishing the beverage. After separation of the yeast, the fermentation liquor is worked up by a combination of steps similar to those customarily carried out in the Kazo technique. The fermentation broth is first heat aged for several days, e.g., about 2 to 4 FJ, to develop the desired flavor characteristics. The fermentation liquor from the fermentation vessel can be diluted as necessary with degassed cold carbonated water to a final alcohol content of less than 0.5% V/v.

If the target high alcohol content is selected for the fermentation, the WJ liquor should be diluted to a final alcohol content of less than 0.5%. The fermented liquid can be diluted before or after ripening, and the dilution can be done by about 1 or two degrees.
The final alcohol content can be reached. After the kettle has cooled, the pot ingredients can be added in amounts that will provide the desired bitterness to the final beverage. Generally, the final beverage should have about 12-15 BUs.

EXAMPLE W4 was produced by grinding 959001 wort containing fermentable sugar in a continuous process up to about 76°C with a liquor containing malt, caramel malt and water. The corn syrup was added to the fermenter as a liquid supplement. 42BUs in fermentation liquid
A combination of hops and hop extract was added to the level. The wort contained approximately 51% malt, 6% caramel malt, and 43% liquid supplement by weight of extract, in sufficient amounts to provide a wort with 15.1% extract by weight containing fermentable sugars. Turbidity was removed by settling in a hot wort tank. The wort was then cooled to approximately 5.5°C using a wort cooler.
